Sorrell Coulson, BTRS Events and Fundraising Manager, was proud to visit the store to collect a cheque for £322.00.

You can nominate your Waitrose store to support BTRS simply by requesting a Community Matters nomination form in store from customer services.

Since its launch in 2008, Community Matters has donated £14 million to local charities chosen by you.

At the end of your shop in branch, you’ll receive a token to place in a box of the good cause you’d most like to support. The more tokens a cause gets, the bigger the donation they receive. Each month every Waitrose branch donates £1,000 (£500 in Convenience shops) between 3 local good causes that you choose.
